Bluetooth file send stopped after 17.04

[Hamidreza Jafari]

Hello,

Bluetooth file send stopped after upgrade to Kubuntu 17.04. It was working fine with Kubuntu 16.10. "bluedevil-sendfile" hinted obex not running.

$bluedevil-sendfile
bluedevil.sendfile: Device ""
bluedevil.sendfile: Files ()
BluezQt: PendingCall Error: "Unit dbus-org.bluez.obex.service not found."
bluedevil.sendfile: Manager initialized

Then the following command solved the issue (but requires this extra step in every boot):

$systemctl --user start obex

Someone hinted "obexd should be dependency for bluedevil, you should file a bug against ubuntu packages." -- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379025#c3

This is very old, if this is still an issue please update the bug on a supported release.
